Meredith was happy. She had everything that she wished for. She had a handsome and loving husband, a dream job and a reputation. She was after all the youngest surgeon in the entire country to win a Harper Avery. And she had finally shed the shadow cast by her mother, Ellis Grey. Meredith had proved herself worthy of being Ellis' daughter and had outshone her mother's achievements.

But she still had one dream. That was kids. Meredith wanted children and to start a family. But in her relentless quest of proving herself, she hardly had time for children. But now that she had proved herself to the medical world, she was ready. Ready to finally experience motherhood. Ready to finally start a family. Ready to make Mark happy.

Today her shift ended earlier than usual. Meredith quickly changed from her green scrubs to her normal clothes. She was ovulating and wanted to make the most of it. These days all that Mark and Meredith did was sex. They had sex every night before going to bed and every morning before going to the hospital. They were trying to make a baby that required nonstop sex. Not that any of them were complaining.

As Meredith reached her apartment she quickly ran upstairs to Mark. She opened the door to their penthouse apartment and called out to him.

"Mark! Baby I'm home! Let's make the most of it!"

At the same time she started searching for him. She went to the kitchen and then out in the balcony. She searched for him in their poolroom but still she did not find him.

At last she went to their bedroom. The door was slightly ajar and she tiptoed to the room to surprise him. But instead she was the one who was surprised.

As soon as she entered the room, Meredith let out a gasp. In their bed she found Mark. With a woman. As looked closely, she realized who the woman was. Addison. Mark was with Addison in their bed. She just looked from Mark to Addison. Tears were threatening to fall from her eyes. She quickly turned to her heels and ran out of the room. She grabbed her coat and purse and headed out of the apartment. Behind her she could hear Mark calling out to her.

"Meredith, please stop! Look I can explain everything. Just don't go!"

But go she did. She finally let her tears fall as she collapsed in a taxi. Her husband, Mark Sloan, was sleeping with her childhood friend, Addison Forbes Montgomery. She entire universe turned upside down in that one moment.

She remembered all those happy moments she spent with Mark. The way he pursued her until she finally agreed to go out with him. Their first kiss. The time he came to her house in the middle of the night drunk and confessed his love for her. The trip to Paris where he proposed to her at the top of the Eiffel Tower. Their wedding. Everything that they did together flashed before her eyes.

She still could not believe that Mark, her sweet Mark, would cheat on her. And that to with her oldest friend. She felt disgusted. She could not believe that she was so blind. Addison and Mark had grown closer in the past couple of months but she had dismissed it at that time. She thought that they were planning something for her or had just become closer friends. She was actually happy to see them getting closer.

But now that he cheated on her, she felt like an idiot. A freaking idiot who could not see that her husband was cheating on her.

As soon as she got a room in her hotel, she went up and took a long bath. She needed it a lot. Meredith calmed her nerves and assessed the situation with a cool mind. She realized that Mark and Addison were together for a long time. Now she realized all the signs that she should have recognized ages ago. She felt her heart break in her chest.

Meredith took out her cell phone and dialed a number. She had to get out of New York as quickly as she could. New York now represented her cheating husband and lying friend. She still could not believe that this had happened to her. She collected her thoughts as she heard the ring on her phone. After what seemed as an eternity, someone picked up the phone.

"Hello Seattle Grace Hospital. How can I help you?"

"This is Meredith Grey. I would like to talk to Dr. Webber, Chief of Surgery."

"Yes just hold on a moment."

After a few seconds, Meredith could hear the voice of Richard Webber, full of surprise and happiness. Richard Webber was the father figure in Meredith's life. After her father left her and her mother, Meredith turned to Richard for everything. Part of it was because she considered him as her father and part of it was because Ellis never had any time for her. When she came to know that her father left because Ellis had an affair with Richard, things became sour between them. But she forgave him and asked him to give her away at her wedding with Mark. Since then he had been a pillar of support in her life.

Meredith soon explained everything that had happened and how she wanted to leave Mark and Addison behind and start her life again. He understood and soon offered her a job at Seattle Grace. After talking again for a few more minutes, they hung up the phone.

Meredith sighed as she fell into her huge bed. She was going back to Seattle the very next day. She was going home.
